September 2015

Hello, I'm Edcolins. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Benoît Battistelli seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Edcolins (talk) 13:30, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

European Patent Office (EPO)

Thanks for your message on my talk page, and for your contributions. Whether information about the suicides among EPO's employees should be included in the article about the EPO depends, in my opinion, on whether more than one source can be found. So far it seems we only have the De Volkskrant September 2015 piece. We definitely need multiple high-quality sources for such controversial information. See WP:EXCEPTIONAL. --Edcolins (talk) 19:44, 27 September 2015 (UTC)--Edcolins (talk) 19:44, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, the other sources should definitely be added. I would also suggest merging the sections "Labour relations during the Battistelli presidency", "2015 Dutch Appeal Court Judgment", and "suicides" into one section, and to summarize the issues: salaries, working conditions, unions, EPO "immunity", president style, recent suicides, historical background. A few sentences should be enough to cover these aspects (per WP:UNDUE). --Edcolins (talk) 19:47, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Copy and pasting

We run "copy and paste" detection software on new edits. One of your edits appear to be infringing on someone else's copyright. See also Wikipedia:Copy-paste. We at Wikipedia usually require paraphrasing. If you own the copyright to this material please follow the directions at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials to grant license.

Your edits [1] about the EPO seem to be copy and pasted from [2]. Please be careful and paraphrase. Other Wikipedians have already altered that content (for other reasons). --Lucas559 (talk) 00:10, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
